I bought a pair of these in May for a 5 day Bone Fishing trip to the Bahamas. They were light, had excellent palm grip material, and when they got wet in a rain shower, they dried quickly. Unfortunately, on the third day, it was windy and while moving to a different spot, one of the gloves blew out of the boat and was lost. I had bought the last pair at the Sportsman's Warehouse in St. George, UT and could not find another pair on my return. Luckily, the online store had them for the same price and I ordered 3 pair. I use them for fishing and hiking now and will buy another 3 pair if they wear out or if the wind takes another one away!
